Chapter 344 When He Zijin and Anian came to Beijingguan, they still stayed at He Han's house.
He Han's wife Li had given birth to a second son.
Li was very happy to see the twins, and Brother Xing was even more like a grown-up.
Her eldest son is one year older and is now able to play everywhere.
Mrs.
Li was particularly partial to Axi.
In addition to the meeting gift, she also gave Axi a pair of small flower hairpins.
Mrs.
Li smiled and said to He Zijin, "When I was pregnant with Erlang, a certain Wen Po looked at my belly and said she was a girl.
I Both the uncle and I were thinking that the elder man is a son and adding a little girl is just a good idea.
When I go out I saw these small jewelry sold in the silver shop.
They were very delicate and cute, just for little girls to wear, so I bought some.
They also brought some small clothes and quilts for the children.
They were all pink and red.
I didn’t want to give birth to another son. .
A lot of things are useless, but now I see A Xi, it’s just for A Xi.”
He Zijin smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry.
My sister-in-law and Brother Ahan are both young.
In a year or two, they will have a little girl."
"Accept my sister's good advice."
Every family is like this.
Most of them hope that the first child will be a son.
But after having a son, they start to long for a daughter.
Li Shi coaxed Axi to talk again.
Axi was not as articulate as Aye, and her words were very brief.
After saying a few words, she wanted to see the baby.
The second son of the Li family was older, and the weather was warm now.
Ya Huan hugged the child and came out.
When A Xi saw it, she immediately said, "This brother is older."
He Zijin saw that Li didn't understand, so he translated it for Li, "When she went to the general's residence to pay her respects, Axi met the second son of General Ji's family.
The child was slightly younger than Erlang."
Li smiled, "Yes.
If my sister had come a few days earlier, she would have caught up with the General's Mansion Full Moon Wine.
I didn't see her, but I heard she is a very well-behaved and beautiful child."
Axi said, "Not as good-looking as Uncle Zhen."
He Zijin smiled, "Mrs.
Jiang and General Ji are all outstanding-looking people, and their children are all well-born."
The first name of Li's jaw is.
Axi looked at the baby once.
Because the mother said they couldn't touch the baby yet, she just watched from the side.
Several children looked at it as if they were curious.
One moment they said, "Puffing bubbles," and the next moment, "Dooling."
After playing with the baby for a while, the children ran wildly in the yard under the leadership of He Dalang.
Li's mother, Mrs.
Li, especially warned the children to be careful and not run too fast, and asked the maid to follow them out to watch.

Seeing the twins running so happily, Mrs.
Li said, "Axi and Aye are only two years old, and they are already running so well."
"Our children are not pampered.
If they run around more, they will become stronger."
Li and He Zijin can talk about the same thing.
It has to be said that they are both a bit aggressive in life.
For example, neither of them has the temperament to spoil their children.
As soon as she heard this, Ms.
Li was convinced.
She said, "I have a cousin-in-law who treats her children as her lifeblood.
When it comes to loving her children, which parent doesn't love them?
That's my cousin-in-law, too."
I don’t know why I’m so careful.
The child at home is three years old and has barely walked on the ground.
He stumbles when he walks, let alone runs.”
Ms.
Li sighed as she spoke.
When talking to Mrs.
Li in the past, I rarely heard Mrs.
Li complaining about her relatives.
If He Zijin said that Mrs.
Li was not a talkative person, it must be because her cousin-in-law was really weird.
He Zijin smiled and said, "This is too much love for the child.
If you ask me, if the child is raised more extensively, he will be in good health.
As long as he pays more attention to the food he eats and watches him carefully, he doesn't let the child get hurt.
It really hurts.
It’s not good to prevent children from walking on the ground.”
"Isn't that right?"
Ms.
Li sighed.
After all, she was not a gossipy person.
She probably couldn't help but said something.
Mrs.
Li replied, "I fell in love with my sister as soon as I met her.
She is a girl from a scholarly family and is knowledgeable, but she treats me very well."
"Sister-in-law, we are a family.
When we get along as a family, it's hard to see who is more knowledgeable and who is less knowledgeable.
Besides, I just read a few elementary school books when I was a child and can recognize a few words.
How dare I call myself knowledgeable?
Seriously speaking, there are the best in the world How many people can be learned?
How many people get along does not depend on their knowledge or background.
It depends on whether they have similar temperaments.
Is it possible that one should first look at family background and secondly look at family status?
How many of the friends made in this way are sincere?
"He Zijin smiled, "Anyway, I'm not that kind of person."
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
He Zijin knew that Li was worried about something, but since Li didn't tell her, it was hard for her to ask, so she had to use words to explain it to Li.
On the other hand, Mrs.
Li's mother, Mrs.
Li, was a quick-tongued woman.
After hearing what He Zijin said, she quickly said, "My aunt is the knowledgeable person.
Alas, my aunt doesn't know that A Hong is so angry with her cousin."
Not so."
Before He Zijin could ask, Mrs.
Li came up with an idea and said, "My sister-in-law didn't know what kind of bad deeds she had done in her previous life, and she married a troublemaker back home.
Hey, the daughter of a prison official is like this I won’t say it anymore, but my nephew fell in love with her and wanted to marry her home.
As a result, , this is not a daughter-in-law, but it is the karma of the previous life.
Let’s not talk about the fact that I can’t lift my hands.
Anyway, my sister-in-law’s family is not bad, but I just want to invite a Bodhisattva into the house.
It is really more difficult to worship than a Bodhisattva.
A Bodhisattva is nothing more than a Buddha in the morning and evening Zhuxiang, we can still feel at ease.
Not only does this lady not know how to hold a horizontal needle or a vertical thread, she also picks up clothes and food every day.
I don’t know where the smell comes from.
A little hen is laying eggs.
He killed them when he was told to kill them and simmered them in the kitchen for six hours, not to mention how much waste it would cause.
Little firewood.
When the hens are stewed, how can you eat it?
It's too oily and too bland.
If you don't like the oil, why do you have to eat chicken soup?
Just eat vegetables.
It's definitely not oily. , what happened in the end?"
Mrs.
Li also left a tail for He Zijin to guess.
He Zijin said, "It must be just the chicken soup used to rinse the green vegetables."
"Oh," Mrs.
Li was surprised and said, "Is it possible that someone really eats like this?"
He Zijin smiled, "Don't we often eat hot pot like this in winter?
First we stew a pot of meat and serve it.
After the meat is eaten, the remaining broth is also very delicious.
Then we add some vegetables to the soup.
In this way, the vegetables borrow the aroma of the broth and taste just as good.”
"That's a hot pot, but this one is different.
This family doesn't eat chicken at all.
They just blanch a few green vegetables in chicken soup."
He Zijin said, "Then just leave the chicken for the family to eat.
In fact, the essence of the chicken is in the meat."
Mrs.
Li sighed, "My sister-in-law's family is said to have a decent family background, and there are one or two maids in the family, but it is not a wealthy family.
The current situation in their family is that my nephew licked blood from his knife and risked his life in exchange for it."
It’s not like we can’t afford to raise chickens.
There are not many other places here, and there are plenty of game foods.

There are many pheasants sold outside.
If you buy pheasants to eat, you can't bear to eat the little hens that are laying eggs.
"Although I didn't cultivate this evil daughter-in-law myself.
Mrs.
Li is also a person who lives her daily life, and it feels very distressing to say that.
He Zijin smiled, "If you ask me to make chicken soup, pheasant chicken soup is more delicious."
"If she had the knowledge of your aunt, my sister-in-law would have to recite Buddha's name."
Mrs.
Li's mother and daughter were completely different.
Mrs.
Li was the kind of person who couldn't shut up the conversation once she started talking.
She continued, "That's how it goes. of, She even went out to complain about her husband's being mean to her, saying that she was stewing a chicken while her husband ate the meat and she drank the soup. " Mrs.
Li couldn't help but roll her eyes when she said this, and He Zijin almost didn't laugh.
He Zijin said, "That's it.
It’s too outrageous.”
"Who says it's not the case?
In the past, we just killed little hens to eat soup.
Since Brother Sheng was born, we have no interest in the little hens' soup.
Now we use hens that have been raised for three years, ducks that have been raised for three years, and ducks that have been raised for three years.
New Year's ham, plus pork belly, pork rinds, pork knuckles, and backbones, and a stew to make such a big pot of good soup and good meat, you can eat it.
Anyway, I still boiled two small green vegetables.
After all this trouble, my brother Sheng was born without milk.
She didn't eat anything like chicken, fish and elbow meat, so she boiled the vegetables with that fishy soup.
Where can I find milk?
After giving birth to a child, it was considered as a way to continue the family lineage of my sister-in-law.
I was very angry when raising a child.
I don’t know where I got those poor and elegant things.
The sister-in-law helped her take care of the child, but she looked down on it.
Let her take care of it herself.
She is too slender and graceful to take care of the child.
Buy a maid, but she will be used to treat the maid like a young lady.
This girl The ring is in charge of the child's clothes, and the maid is in charge of the child's food.
She has eight maids to serve one child.
I want to eat green vegetables, but as a result, I have these eight maids, the good ingredients for stewing soup, chicken, fish and elbow meat.
I first ask the maids to hold a bowl for each person to eat.
I don’t think about my parents-in-law, which really makes my sister-in-law angry.
My heart hurts.
I thought, my aunt has also lived in the Imperial City and has seen people from the big world.
I wonder if the wealthy people in the Imperial City are all so particular."
He Zijin was dumbfounded when he heard this.
He didn't know what to say.
He Zijin said, "Auntie also knows that my family is a small family.
In the imperial capital, I also know a few official families.
But if you want me to tell you, I can't say it at the moment."
For the time being, if the Gongmen Houfu has such financial resources, there is nothing wrong with this.

If we are from a small family, our children must grow up to be aggressive.
For example, the child is born like this.
He is aggressive when he is young, and he will be aggressive when he grows up.
Besides, he must also plan for his future.
Regardless of whether you are a girl or a boy, everything will cost money for food and clothing in the future.”
"Isn't it?"
Mrs.
Li sighed, "It's true that I didn't cultivate in my last life, and I am like this daughter-in-law.
A few days ago, I brought Brother Sheng over to talk.
Brother Sheng played with our elder brother.
There is nothing missing in the child's house.
Come on, Dalang is not that naughty child.
Brother Sheng fell down, but she told Dalang that he didn't know how to look after children. , and said that Ahong is a pampered child.
Tell me, let’s not talk about Ahong.
She is not a spoiled child.
It’s possible that our young man is his servant and wants to help her take care of the child.
I was also very angry, and my sister-in-law came over to apologize to me.
Fortunately, our whole family knew that she was ignorant, and we would be very angry to be on the same level as her. " After Mrs.
Li talked about the "family scandal", she felt relieved.
Fang smiled and said, "Look at what I said.
It took a long time for my aunt to come here, but I told my aunt that she didn't have any of these things.
I called the cook Let’s cook some delicious food and let’s have a few drinks later.”
He Zijin smiled and said, "Okay, my sister-in-law and I will accompany the old lady to have a few drinks.
You are a good drinker."
Men and women in Beichang Mansion are good at drinking.
It's not because they are drunk, but because the climate here is so cold.
Therefore, everyone likes to drink a few cups to warm up the blood.
Mrs.
Li smiled, "My aunt has a drinking capacity, I know."
He Zijin specially introduced the good rice he brought to Mrs.
Li and his daughter, and asked them to have a taste.
Mrs.
Li knew the rice as soon as she saw it and said, "This rice is rare nowadays.
I remember that when I was a child, there were people who planted it.
It was very fragrant.
The rice grains looked like broken jade and tasted very delicious."
Well, one acre of land could not yield more than a few kilograms.
After paying the grain tax, there was nothing left.
Later, people would rather grow sorghum and millet than this kind of rice.”
He Zijin smiled, "It took a lot of effort to find some rice seeds.
In the summer, I got new rice.
It tasted good, so I brought some to my sister-in-law and the old lady."
Mrs.
Li said, "My aunt always thinks of us no matter what happens."
"Isn't this how it should be?"

Mrs.
Li added, "By the way, last time Uncle Jiang came over, we told our son-in-law that since he got married to Ah Hong, he has never seen his in-laws because they are far away.
The son-in-law has a filial character and talks about it.
Even if I don’t say it, I still worry about it.
Uncle Jiang said he wanted to go back to his hometown.
My son-in-law wrote a letter and asked Uncle Jiang to take it with him.
I thought that if the in-laws came over, they would have to clean up the house in advance.
I had never seen the in-laws and I didn’t know what their preferences were.
My aunt would help us take a look at the house later.
If there was anything wrong with it. , and then ask the craftsmen to redo it.”
He Zijin said, "We are all small families, and we don't pay much attention to the house.
We just need to keep it clean."
Mrs.
Li repeatedly told He Zijin to take a look at it, and He Zijin went there.
Not only was it cleaned up, it was simply re-pasted and tidied up.
Even the furniture was all new and made of pine wood, exuding a light The fragrance of pine wood.
He Zijin smiled and said, "This house can be used to get a wife for the elder man now."
Mrs.
Li laughed when she heard this.
Mrs.
Li smiled and said, "My sister looks good, so it must be good."
He Zijin said, "It's really good."
In the evening, He Han went home and had a drink and dinner.
Ji Zhen, on the other hand, also remembered her friends when she got home.
She even sent someone to bring two pastries to the friends.
The grandma who brought them was also very kind.
He was kind, without the slightest arrogance of someone who came from a general's palace, and said with a smile, "The uncle also said that he would invite the girl and the young man to come over and play together tomorrow."
He Zijin smiled and said, "Tell A-Zhen that they all remember it and will go there early tomorrow morning."
He left the nanny to have a cup of tea and then sent her away with the red envelope.
He Zijin said to Li, "Azhen and the others are familiar with playing together.
I'm afraid they won't be used to it when they are separated.
Let's ask Dalang to go over and play together tomorrow.
They are almost the same age."
Mrs.
Li was happy, but she was a little worried about the strict rules of the General's Mansion.
Mrs.
Li hurriedly responded, "That would be great, even our children have never been to the General's Mansion, so we might not understand the rules of the General's Mansion."
He Zijin smiled, "I think Da Lang is quite nice.
His courtesy was not bad when he first met me.
My in-laws are too modest."
Mrs.
Li smiled, "If my aunt thinks he is successful, then ask him to go with us."
Dalang didn't know what was going on, but Brother Xing cooed in his ear, saying that he would go to the General's Mansion tomorrow to play.
Dalang was one year younger than Brother Xing, and there was no such thing as the General's Mansion.
I don’t know much about it, but it was just a matter of playing together or something.

Da Lang happily agreed and said, “I’ll take the big knife that my father made for me tomorrow.”
"Sure," Brother Xing discussed with Dalang, "I'll play with your knife later."
"You can only play for half an hour."
"All right."
Mrs.
Li laughed when she heard this and said to her grandson, "What's wrong with asking your uncle to play around?"
"Daddy made that for me."
Dalang couldn't bear to part with it.
He Han said, "I will give you a kiss in a few days."
Dalang thought for a while and said, "When daddy makes a new one for me, I'll give this one to my uncle."
The adults couldn't help laughing, and He Zijin said, "Dalang is more thoughtful than Brother Ahan when he was a child.
When I was a child, Brother Ahan took me to play, and he often lost me without knowing it.
I would find it home by myself." go."
He Han smiled, "I wasn't happy to take the little girl with me at that time.
You always went to find me, calling me Ahan Guo, Ahan Guo, Ahan Guo, I don't want you anymore.
Sometimes I ran away, and I hurried back to find you. , I'm afraid you lost it and it took me a long time to find it.
You are at home."
Ah Nian interrupted, "Why don't I remember?"
He knew everything about Zijin's sister.
He Han picked up some sour bamboo shoots with chopsticks and said with a smile, "You weren't there at that time."
Everyone laughed again and enjoyed the meal happily.
Mrs.
Li told her husband in private, "Auntie He is such a kind-hearted person.
Whenever she comes back, she has no time to touch each other.
She never forgets to help us if she has any good deeds."
In this way, she took her grandson to the general's mansion to meet the young general.
It was just a matter of fun, Mrs.
Li felt decent when she thought about it.
Mr.
Li said, "I said at the beginning that my son-in-law is a good person.
Look, not only is my son-in-law a good character, but his family members are also reasonable and decent people."
Mrs.
Li nodded and said, "If the two aunts in my in-laws' family can be like Aunt He, I will be satisfied."
"Looking at the son-in-law's character, the in-laws will be good as well."
Of course, the old couple of the in-laws also know the background of the in-laws.
Mr.
Li said, "It's just that in this life, no one will be confused at all.
We also have this opportunity.
My daughter and my son-in-law have just become a family.
Otherwise, how would I have thought of marrying my daughter to a family in Sichuan?"
"Yes."
Mrs.
Li thought of something and discussed with her husband, "Erlang is a little older now.
How about we settle the adoption matter first."
It turns out that the old couple had a son and a daughter.

He and He Han used to be soldiers together, and later died in battle.
He Han always took care of the Li family, and after a while, he married the Li family.
When they got married, the old couple didn't mention any conditions.
It didn't matter whether they gave him a betrothal gift or not.
There was only one condition: He Han would adopt his son to the Li family after giving birth. , Don’t make your son childless.
He Han had seen through life and death in these years of fighting, so he agreed at that time.
Today, the in-laws are coming over, although Mrs.
Li is comforting herself in her heart, thinking that her son-in-law is such a virtuous and filial person, even if the in-laws are a little confused, they are not unreasonable.
It's just that adoption is a big deal.
Mrs.
Li knew that her son-in-law was a singleton at home, and she was afraid that her in-laws would not be happy with the adoption, so she thought of getting things done in advance.
Mr.
Li said, "Don't mention it for now.
When my aunt and her family leave, we can discuss this matter with my son-in-law."
"That's fine."
The next day, He Zijin let the children go to the general's mansion to play.
Mrs.
Jiang also liked He Dalang very much when she saw him.
He Han was the head of the bodyguard of General Ji.
Mrs.
Jiang was also happy that He Dalang could get along with her son.
Mrs.
Jiang also discussed with her husband, "A-Zhen is about to enter school, so we should find some playmates for him."
General Ji said, "If it's a playmate, a few children from the He family and the Jiang family can also be companions.
If it's a study companion, Azhen is because I thought about how old he is when I send him to the imperial capital, so that he can go to Mr.
Luo to study." , he also has a servant by his side.
If A Zhen goes to the imperial capital in the future, do these children want to go with him?"
Mrs.
Jiang sighed and said, "I was thinking too little.
There is nothing A-Zhen can do.
If she goes to another family, she may not be able to give up her child."
"Yes."
General Ji said, "Let's talk about friends.
If you have the ability in the future, you will certainly have no shortage of friends."
Mrs.
Jiang did not mention the matter of finding a reading companion for her son.
She only told her husband that her daughter would go to Shahe County with He Zijin to stay for a few days.
General Ji said, "Ah Ying, it's good if you want to relax.
I think She is really depressed in the house.
I can’t blame her for this.
We just have to wait until next year to find a good marriage for her.”
Mrs.
Jiang said, "No matter whether you are a scholar or a martial artist, your character must come first."
"I know."
He Zijin and Anian stayed in Beijingguan for five days and were about to return to Shahe County.

Jizhen was reluctant to leave home again, so He Zijin said, "I'll bring you here again in a few days."
Jizhen was happy at this and said, "I'll bring Sister Xi with me too."
"Okay."
He Zijin responded.
Mrs.
Jiang gave He Zijin a lot of things to take away with him, and she also gave He Zijin a generous gift in return.
He Zijin smiled and said, "Next time I come to Madam's place, I will bring a few more big cars."
Mrs.
Jiang laughed and told He Zijin to drive slowly on the road.
She also prepared food and water for her on the way, and said, "I put them all in the food box, and there are some snacks in it.
You and the children can eat on the way."
He Zijin thanked him, A Nian also resigned from General Ji, and the young couple took their children and Jiang Ying back to Shahe County.
As the county magistrate with real power, A-Nian was absent from the county government these days, but the county government still operated smoothly and smoothly, with no major incidents.
He Zijin, on the other hand, told Anian when he returned to Shahe County that she planned to go to the market to see if there was any business that could be done or something like that.
Sister Zijin was ambitious, and A-Nian immediately expressed her support.
A-Nian also said, "I'm going with my sister, and I happened to have discussed it with Mr.
Luo.
If you don't do business, you won't be rich.
Go and have a look at the market."
Let’s see if I can do something for the county, after all, I’m an official.”
He Zijin didn't expect A Nian to go too, she said, "What should we do with the children?"
A Nian had already thought about it for the children and said, "Master Chaoyun will be there during the day and grandma will be there at night.
We will only go there for three to five days.
It doesn't matter."
He Zijin thought about it and agreed.
He Lao Niang is in good hands.
He Zijin said that He Lao Niang is a member of the business.
He Lao Niang immediately waved her hand and said, "Go and do your work.
Just leave the child to me."
Master Chaoyun is also very easy to entrust.
Master Chaoyun also asked, "Can your old lady come over to see you tonight?
Why don't you send the children back."
In fact, Master Chaoyun wanted to take care of the babies at twelve hours a day. .
He Zijin said, "There is a maid."
Master Chaoyun was silent for a moment, and then said, "Tell the maid to keep an eye on her, and don't let the next time happen when you eat or drink."
He Zijin said, "I know, I have retrained the maid at home a long time ago."
Master Chaoyun was really curious about the fact that the female disciple was so confident all the time.
He was curious about how this person could be so confident.
He Zijin is not going to the market to look for business opportunities.
This is definitely a big shopping trip.
He wants to buy everything he sees.
Beiliang not only produces red ginseng, but Beiliang paper is also very good.
He Zijin even bought some Beiliang paper.
In addition, the furs were soft and thick, and they were all first-class leathers.
He Zijin bought half a truckload of them.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
In addition, precious medicinal materials such as red ginseng and deer antler are not rare.
It is rare to meet a seller of old wild ginseng.
Mrs.
Duan knows a little about red ginseng, but Mrs.
Duan is not sure about old wild ginseng.
He Zijin was so rare that he didn't know enough about it and didn't dare to buy it.
He asked the Dou family, a big drug dealer in the imperial capital, to buy it.
But, it’s really eye-opening.
Not only that, there is also a restaurant opened by Beiliang people in the market.
He Zijin got his wish and ate Beiliang food, all kinds of pickles and various barbecues.
He Zijin also said, "Why don't you see pickles?"
I asked the waiter again, let alone kimchi, there is not even cabbage in Beiliang.
He Zijin was a little surprised, but felt that the era she lived in was different from what she had learned in the history books in her previous life.
When He Zijin and his party returned to Shahe County with a full load, He Zijin first gave the Beiliang paper to Master Chaoyun and said, "This is paper produced in Beiliang.
I think it is very good.
Master, you can use it."
Use it and see if it suits you.
I’ll buy some more in the future.
I think this paper is good.”
Master Chaoyun tasted it carefully and saw that the paper was as white as silk, smooth and lovely, so he asked his female disciple to grind the ink.
Master Chaoyun gave it a try and found that it was indeed good.
He smiled and said, "This paper is indeed good."
Luo Daru looked at it from the side and said, "It looks like the paper tribute from Beiliang in the past."
Master Chaoyun nodded, "No worse than that."
He Zijin said, "I heard from the shop assistant that this paper was used by the Northern Liang royal family.
It is made of cotton and cocoon.
It is very rare."
Master Chao Yun smiled, "Most of the paper used by the Northern Liang royal family has royal marks on it.
It is not used by the royal family.
However, it is not bad compared to the ones used by the royal family.
It is probably from the same workshop.
This is just a private sale."
He Zijin said, "I also bought a lot of leather.
After a while, I will make a big cloak for my master and my husband, just in time for autumn and winter."
Master Chaoyun was very satisfied with the female disciple's filial piety and asked her, "Didn't you say you would go and see if there was any suitable business?"
He Zijin waved his hand and said confidently, "Don't mention it.
Big businesses like ginseng and antler are controlled by big merchants.
The business of high-quality ginseng and antler is difficult to get.
You can only do it."
Second-class.
I don’t do these businesses.
I’ll find another one.”
Master Chaoyun was waiting to listen attentively, and He Zijin asked Master Chaoyun, "Master, the first day of August is the Queen's birthday, right?"
Master Chaoyun said "Yeah", "I'm sorry you still remember" "How can I forget this?"
After all, He Zijin lived in the imperial capital and was lucky enough to meet the Queen twice.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Even when he arrived in Shahe County, He Zijin often boasted about the necklace the Queen gave her.
He Zijin said, "I am looking at the Queen's birthday.
Master, tell me, as the county magistrate, can A-Nian send some congratulatory gifts to the Queen?"
Master Chaoyun didn't know much about these things.
He looked at Luo Daru, who said, "According to official rank, only people of fifth rank and above are qualified to give birthday gifts to the Queen."
In other words, a small official like Zhizhi, is simply a I am not even qualified to give birthday gifts to the Queen.
He Zijin thought for a while and said, "I want to give the Queen some rice.
Even Master Chaoyun has agreed, the fragrant glutinous rice produced locally in Shahe County."
Luo Daru said, "There are more than ten kinds of rice offered as tribute in the palace.
Although the fragrant and glutinous rice is good, it is not necessarily outstanding."
He Zijin said, "This rice was originally one of the tribute rice from the previous dynasty.
Later the dynasty changed and Beichang Prefecture was constantly at war, so no one mentioned the tribute rice anymore.
But good rice is good rice after all, and Master Chaoyun "This rice is good."
He Zijin believed in Master Chaoyun's taste.
Luo Daru said, "If you think this rice is good, you'd better not pay tribute, otherwise it will put a heavy burden on the local people."
"How do you say this?
I heard that if you can become a tribute, you can get more tax reductions.
Moreover, the court does not want it for nothing, but negotiates to buy it."
Luo Daru said, "Bargaining is just a name.
It's mostly about buying at a fair price.
You don't know the secrets involved.
The palace may only have one thousand catties of rice, but when it comes to Shahe County, it's ten thousand catties."
He Zijin said, "Is it possible that these people dare to falsely preach the imperial edict?"
"I don't dare to falsely convey the imperial edict.
However, when the imperial edict reaches the state capital, the state capital will add one more.
When it reaches the county, the county will add another one, which is infinitely more than the imperial edict."
He Zijin asked, "If I were to take care of the rice matter, would it be possible for me to add one more thing and then another like this?"
Luo Daru hesitated for a moment, looked at He Zijin for a moment, and said, "If you were to do it, no one would dare to join."
After all, she is a female disciple of Zhaoyun, and anyone who is well-informed knows that there is nothing wrong with a few kilograms of rice.
Give He Zijin face.
Such a girl, she wanted to cry and complain to Zhaoyun, and Zhaoyun was a protector.
Who wants to offend Zhaoyun, not even those who are crazy about it.
But, girl, why don’t you borrow Zhaoyun’s favor so carelessly?
He Zijin didn't think there was anything wrong with borrowing the light, and He Zijin said proudly, "That's it."
Luo Daru asked, "Is it possible that you will have to take control of this tribute rice issue from now on?"
"What is control?
Gongmi is tribute rice.
Rice is different from other things.
If there is tribute, it is nothing more than enclosing a place suitable for growing rice for the royal family.
I gave the royal family a place with good mountains, good water and good fields. , I will choose a second-class place to grow rice, and then I will do some business in the name of Gongmi."
He Zijin said his plan.
Luo Daru said, "You have thought about it all."
"Well, I think so, but I don't know if it will work."
"Sure."
Luo Daru said, "Very good."

Although this is not a big business, there is some profit to be made if it is done well.
He Zijin said, "Then I will take over the relationship with Governor Yu.
If Governor Yu offers a gift, I will try to send the fragrant glutinous rice from our Shahe County as a gift."
Luo Daru said, "The important thing is that it must be in line with today's taste."
He Zijin smiled mysteriously, "I don't know what the taste is today, but I know the Queen's taste.
The Queen's taste is the same as that of the master."
In other words, this may be the mysterious blood relationship.
Although He Zijin only dined with the Queen once, she often ate with Master Chaoyun and knew Master Chaoyun's likes and dislikes.
She noticed it when she ate at the Queen's place.
The Queen's diet was the same.
Master Chaoyun has many similarities.
Master Chaoyun and Luo Daru both felt that this matter was not a big problem, so He Zijin went to take care of it.
A Nian wrote a sincere letter and ordered Sun County Prime Minister to send it to the governor's Yamen.
Although it was still some days before Queen Xie Qianqiu, the Yu family and Queen Xie's maternal family, Xie Chengen's Mansion, were originally the homes of in-laws.
Therefore, Queen Xie Qianqiu Yu Naturally, you will do your best when patrolling far away.
After seeing A Nian's letter, Governor Yu was very considerate to A Nian.
Moreover, He Zijin had already given Mrs.
Yu fragrant glutinous rice to eat.
Governor Yu said, "That rice, ah, Shahe fragrant rice, I I have also eaten it, and it is indeed fine rice.
In that case, Magistrate Lingjiang put two bags in silk brocade bags and sent them to me. " Sun County Magistrate respectfully received the governor's order and returned to Shahe County to resume his duties.
Governor Yu also asked his old wife, "Why does County Magistrate Jiang have to buy rice for the Queen?"
Mrs.
Yu said, "That rice tastes good.
Mrs.
Jiang specially sent some to me this year.
Why don't you say yes to it if you eat it?"
Governor Yu had been in Beichang Prefecture for many years, and he was very concerned about the country and the people.
He said, "I'm afraid that this rice will only cost the people and money."
Mrs.
Yu was the direct aunt of Queen Xie.
After hearing these words, she had to defend herself and said, "The Queen is not extravagant.
Even if she really wants this rice as a tribute, she will not waste the people and money.
You can only think of us as the north.
As a gift from the Chang Mansion, the Empress has never seen any good things, so she doesn’t necessarily care about this rice.”
Although Governor Yu was lucky, he was not deceiving himself.
He said, "I think Magistrate Jiang and Mrs.
Jiang are both confident before taking action.
Since they want to borrow this rice from me, I'm afraid there will be some trouble."
Sure."
Mrs.
Yu said, "Since you are so hesitant, why should you respond to Magistrate Jiang?
Even if you don't respond, Magistrate Jiang will not say anything if he is afraid.
He is not an unreasonable person."
"You don't know that General Ji's eldest son is currently sent to Mr.
Fang to study.

General Ji and Mrs.
Ji are both Shu people, and they have a good relationship with each other.
I shouldn't be here, even though Jiang County Magistrate is temporarily absent.
What can be said, depending on his relationship with General Ji, it is still possible to follow General Ji's path."
Governor Yu said, "In fact, even now, it is easier for him to follow General Ji's path than mine.
After all, Ji's eldest son lives with Mr.
Fang.
How could General Ji ignore such a trivial matter?
The reason why he wrote to discuss the matter is because of his strict temperament. , He just doesn’t want to go beyond me and ask for help from General Ji.
"After all, he is the head of the civil service of Beichang Mansion.
If Jiang Nian goes beyond the governor and seeks help from General Ji, he does not understand the rules of officialdom.
Mrs.
Yu couldn't help but smile after hearing this, "I see Mrs.
Jiang two or three times every year.
I always say that Mrs.
Jiang is a very talkative person.
I don't think Magistrate Jiang can be so well-behaved and polite, and not arrogant." ” Governor Yu nodded, "That's true."
Speaking of the Jiang couple, Mrs.
Yu said to her husband, "If you think the He family is good, why don't you decide on the marriage between the eldest son of the He family and our eldest daughter.
I think the He family is really a clean family, although their family background is high. slightly inferior to us The He family has a good family tradition.
Not to mention others, the family is full of quiet people.
Mr.
He doesn't even have a maid with his wife, let alone a concubine.
Mrs.
He is also a A smart person waiting for him.
Ever since the eldest son of the He family became a scholar, many people have inquired about the eldest son of the He family.
Mrs.
He said that although her family was a small family, there were rules.
Not to mention the daughter-in-law.
Only those who are forty and childless can accept it.
Concubine.
Even her eldest son is very clean, and he has a personal servant to serve him all year round.
Moreover, he is a scholar at the age of 16 and can be regarded as a highly motivated child.
"As a grandmother, Mrs.
Yu really caught her eye.
Home.
Although his family background is not first-class, his family tradition is good.
She would be willing to live in such a family, even if they were of ordinary family status.
Mrs.
Yu added, "Besides, Mr.
He is still young.
He is not even forty now.
If he survives for another twenty or thirty years, he can always reach the third or fourth grade.
I think his family is a sign of prosperity, not to mention the distance.
Magistrate Jiang is a man with abundant talents and luck, not to mention Mrs.

He's maiden brother is also a second-ranked imperial scholar and an official in the Hanlin Academy.
I heard that Mr.
He also has a sister who is also a Jinshi and is now a fifth-rank magistrate.
There is much to consider.
When the Yu family chose He Lie, it was not just the He family that was chosen.
Too many small official families were the type where one person was an official and the whole family sucked blood.
Mrs.
Yu naturally dislikes such a family.
The He family is different.
Although the He family is not as rich and powerful as the Yu family, the He family is not only a serious study and career advancement family, but also a few close relatives.
In Mrs.
Yu's eyes, such a family is a sign of prosperity.
In fact, Mrs.
Yu can see the benefits of the He family, and so can others.
In Beichang Mansion, Mrs.
Yu was not the only one who liked the He family.
Because of this, Mrs.
Yu was a little anxious.
She believed that there was no other family in Beichang Mansion that was better than her own, but she was just afraid that someone would kill him soon.
Governor Yu was satisfied with the He family, otherwise, he would not have revealed this intention to his old wife.
Now the old wife mentioned it again, and Governor Yu asked, "What did Mrs.
He say?"
When she mentioned this, Mrs.
Yu's face was full of smiles and she said, "When Mrs.
He came, I called Da Niu out twice to talk.
Mrs.
He likes Da Niu very much."
A smile appeared on Governor Yu's face, he twirled his beard slightly and said reservedly, "It's just that the girl didn't take the initiative to mention this matter.
Why don't you reveal your intention to Mrs.
He and see what Mrs.
He means."
Mrs.
Yu nodded in agreement and said to her husband, "Last time, Afan sent a letter saying that the position of Minister of Rites was vacant.
What's going on?"
This was referring to the couple's eldest son, Yu Fan.
Governor Yu looked like a breeze and a bright moon, and said, "I'm not in the imperial capital, so how can I know?"
Mrs.
Yu glared at her husband and said, "Let me ask you quickly.
Stop pretending to me."
Governor Yu could only whisper, "He has been in the Ministry of Rites for many years.
When His Majesty was the prince in charge of the Ministry of Rites, he was already in the Ministry of Rites.
In terms of qualifications, he is sufficient.
Needless to say, the emperor's heart.
It's just that.
With the war at Xining Pass at the moment, Your Majesty may not be able to take care of it for a while, but I guess it won’t be a big problem when the whole thing at Xining Pass is over.”

Mrs.
Yu was very surprised and asked, "Is there another war at Xining Pass?"
Governor Yu said, "Yes, the battle is over now.
Uncle Zhongyong is stationed at Xining Pass, and he is afraid that he will have to reorganize the Xining Army.
The imperial court is busy with this right now."
Mrs.
Yu was no longer anxious about her son's promotion.
Mrs.
Yu said, "Oh, Uncle Zhongyong went to Xining Pass, what will happen to Princess Duanning?"
Uncle Zhongyong was awarded a title for his meritorious service.
At the same time, Uncle Zhongyong also had The second title is Princess Duanning's consort.
Among the six princes today, there is only one daughter, Princess Duanning.
Moreover, Princess Duanning was raised under the knee of Queen Xie since she was a child, and she is very close to Queen Xie.
Therefore, Mrs.
Yu just said this.
Governor Yu said, "Probably either stay in the imperial capital or go to Xining Pass."
Mrs.
Yu thought for a while and said, "When Abo went to Xining Prefecture to serve as an official, Princess Yi'an also went with him.
Therefore, everyone in the court said that Princess Yi'an was virtuous."
Abo was talking about Xie Bai, and Xie Bai was Mrs.
Yu's second nephew, born in Tanhua, is Princess Shang Yian.
She is now the censor of Zuodu, a second-rank high-ranking official, and has joined the cabinet as prime minister.
Speaking of her maternal nephew, Mrs.
Yu couldn't help but think of her eldest brother, and sighed, "My eldest brother is not blessed, otherwise, it would be the right time to enjoy the blessings." .
This old minister was regarded as a powerful figure.
He had two sons and one daughter.
The second son was Princess Xie Baishang Yian.
The eldest daughter was the late emperor's noble concubine.
The eldest son had an ordinary career in officialdom.
Before he became an official, he was also a third-rank minister.
To say that the most promising members of the Xie family are not just these few, the most promising member of the Xie family is the eldest granddaughter of Mr.
My benefactor directly promoted the Xie family from a scholarly family to a wealthy family in the imperial capital.
Unexpectedly, the Duke Xie Lao Shangshu died of illness within a few days.
Therefore, when Mrs.
Yu talks about her eldest brother, she always says that he is not blessed.
Seeing the sadness on the old wife's face, Governor Yu couldn't help but persuade her, "My uncle has been able to stabilize the country and have a prosperous future for his whole life.
He is not unlucky."
Governor Yu tried to persuade her, and Mrs.
Yu gradually lost her sadness. gd1806102:
